Jul 2nd, 20192013v. I loved the 2012 vintage and this one is great too. A lot of complexity in this bottle at a great price point. Huge nose: strawberry and blackberry, menthol and garrigue, black olive and earth. On the palette, dark inky fruit with the garrigue lingering on the finish. Long finish, with a little bit of pronounced alcohol. Youthful tannins that dry the mouth without too much grip. 15% ABV. 70% grenache/30% syrah.
